Hi everyone, my name is Lou
Lou is a handsome Ragdoll with a big personality and a playful streak to match. He’s looking for a home that understands his energetic nature and can give him the space—and the right kind of play—to thrive.
Lou loves to play, and he doesn’t always hold back, so he’ll do best in a home without young children. He enjoys interactive toys like tunnels, tassels, and balls, and will happily entertain himself (or you!) with his playful antics.
Personality-wise, Lou can be a bit aloof at times, but he’s also capable of real affection—especially with his trusted people. He’s friendly and comfortable with his family, though he may be shy when meeting new faces and will need a little time to warm up.
Lou has had the femoral head removed in the right hind leg to treat a hip dislocation. This will cause an ongoing abnormal gait.
One of Lou’s favorite things? Chin scratches. Once you’ve earned his trust, this is the quickest way to his heart.

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
